Deputy police chief, John Holda, says 2 fatally shot in Jackson

JACKSON -- Jackson police say officers shot and killed a man who pointed a gun at them while they were responding to the scene of another fatal shooting.

Deputy Chief John Holda said Monday that two officers and an acting sergeant were responding Sunday morning to a report of shots fired when they spotted 24-year-old Marshan Worthey of Jackson dragging a woman's body from the street.

Holda says Worthey pointed a gun at police, and all three fired at him.

The officers weren't injured and were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation.

Holda says 22-year-old Shakia Kelley of Jackson died following the initially reported shooting. Holda says police suspect Kelley was shot by Worthey, but were awaiting the outcome of ballistics tests.
